I just turned 63 and I wanted a mower that didn't wear me out trying to just get it started. I didn't want rechargeable batteries either because well you have to keep recharging them, and items with rechargeable batteries never seem as powerful to me. So I bought this Greenworks corded mower. Why did I wait til I was 63 to find a way to almost enjoy mowing?!

It took less than 5 minutes to get it out of the box and set up, 1 second to start it, and I had the whole yard done, front and back, plus ate lunch and took 2 breaks, all in under 2 hours. I wasn't even tired afterwards, like I used to be just from pulling that damn cord! It was much quieter and cleaner, and the cut was great!

No stalling in tall grass, and my greatest concern - self propelled not available - was not even a problem. It works EASIER than a self propelled gas mower. It even takes up less space in my workshop, and the handle folds down easily if you want it to. Why doesn't everyone have one of these? They must not know......

"My mower came quickly with no damage. I gave service 5 stars but I don't need any service. The people I spoke to on the phone before I bought the mower were very helpful. This is one of my favorite purchases I have made in a long time."

Brought the 13 AMP Greenworks in the fall of 2015, thought I would try electric since I moved into a house with a small yard. Worked great out of the box. Mowed twice this spring 2016 and on the second cutting it just stopped running. Checked it out and on the blade side of the electric motor all of the motor tabs that run between the air holes had broken.

It appeared as the motor housing was made of bad metal. I did not send in my warranty card because I thought I purchased a good mower, I was wrong. Pretty expensive mowing for using it approximately 10 times. Threw the thing in the garbage. Think I'll stick with gas mowers.

Brand Rep

Jim,

We're sorry to hear about your experience. This is not a common issue. Please contact us at info@greenworkstools.com so that we can investigate this further.

I upgraded to this model from the 10 amp 16" I have had since 2009 (still works like the day I bought it) because my new home has different thicker grass. NO MORE RAKING. Grass was perfect when finished and never struggled with this thicker grass.

I was finished in more than half of the time it took me to finish it with my older model. I have not used the side discharge or the bag, and probably never will. Remember you should only cut a third of your grass off at a time. (if it's 3 inches high you should only cut off 1 inch)

I keep my grass cut to 2.75-3 inches high. If you do purchase this mower, be sure your power cord is gauged correctly. I use 100' 12 gauge that will handle 15 amps.

My #1 Investment

This is the second one of these mowers I have purchased and I love it. I am a 63 year old widow and have a lot to mow. I am a high school secretary, working 5 days a week from 7:00 a.m. to whenever! I mow my yard and my 81 year old widowed mother-in-law's yard.

It takes me about 15 hours to mow both yards. I mow just about every evening when I get in from work, if it isn't raining. I could not make it without this little lawn mower. It is the best investment I have ever made. The neighbors comment on my yard and how good it looks.

Still Very Pleased

I have previously given a review of the 25112. I am still very pleased. However, the cord holder is too narrow and tends to hang up in a crevice at the edge of the horizontal bar, when the mover is rotated 180 degrees at the end of a run. (Works OK when turning the other direction.)

The problem is corrected with a larger holder. See attached photos. I use a large clamp. When closed around the bar, the resulting hole is large enough to slid from one side to the other and the clamp wide enough not to get wedged at the end of the bar.and the handle.

Electric Committment

I am committed to an electric lawnmower. I want to aid in minimizing imported petroleum and gas engines require annual maintenance and gasoline storage.

I made the change several years ago to an 18" battery-powered lawnmower. It was under-powered and could not successfully operate in damp or heavy grass.

This mower and a 14-3 electric cord cost approximately half the price of a similar-sized battery-operated mower. My research indicated that the 21" corded mower - Greenworks Model 25112 - was better based on specifications, owner-reports, and the 4 year warranty. I was disappointed to find that the mower was not manufactured in the United States.

My experience justified the research. The 13 amp electric lawn-mower has (after three weeks usage) remedied all the concerns of my former 18" battery-powered mower. Heavy grass, damp grass (not recommended), and electric cord placement have not been a problem. I finish the approx. 4,000 sq.ft. mowed-grass area within 1.5 hours with less fatigue than previously.

Attached are a couple of photos of the mower (and owner) and the home-fabricated cord-holder/dispenser.

Bucket Cord Storage

I just bought the 13 amp mower and it seems to run fine. When reading previous reviews I saw that someone has pictures of the electric cord coiled into a bucket. I suggest a modification to that which works well.

Rather than a round bucket (which gives you "loops" when you pull out the cord), I use an oblong tub and lay the cord into the tub in a "figure-eight" pattern. When done this way, the cord comes out of the tub with no loops. Instead, the cord comes out in a straight line.

Another advantage is that the criss-cross pattern of the figure-eight keeps each layer totally separated from the previous one and there never is the possibility of loops tangling.

Factory Service Leave A Lot To Desire

I purchased the Greenworks 25112 mower in May 2013. In July of 2013 while cutting my grass, the mower stopped. I called the 800 number of the manufacturer. After a number of calls I finally reached a live voice and was told the required part would immediately be shipped and would be at the repair shop early the next week. I waited an additional week and called to check if the mower was ready. The part was not shipped. The repair shop then went online and checked the status. Seems the parts have been back ordered since July. Yet the customer service assured me the part would be sent immediately. So not sure if there is any truth in what I was told by the manufacturer. I am very frustrated with Greenworks and feel I could not recommend them again.

Buyer Beware

Got to use my 25112 for one year until it stopped working this week with an apparent short. Greenworks customer service first sent me to a service provider in my area who immediately informed me that they had severed their contract with Greenworks as it was a horrible company to do business with. Another call to Greenworks got me the promise of a replacement mower, not the same model as it has been discontinued, probably because the 13amp motor is prone to burn outs. If the replacement which is rechargeable doesn't last, it is back to gasoline.

So far all very good news!
1. Ordered mower on-line on Sunday night - arrived Tuesday night. Wow.
2. Well packaged and super easy to assemble. Was pleasantly surprised by cam locks on handle which make folding the handle in half for storage very convenient.
3. For an electric mower it is surprisingly light weight.
4. Easy turning and maneuvering with large rear wheels.
5. Cutting height adjustment is incredibly easy!
6. Cut 6" tall grass without bogging down or grass clumps.
7. After 2 hours of continuous mowing, the exterior case was as cool as the ambient air!

The one item I would immediately change is the cheap and not user-friendly electric cord holder mounted to the horizontal handle bar. My yard is so big I had to disconnect & reconnect the power cord at the mower end several times. Used the as-built retainer once & never used it again. I simply tie a knot in the cord around the cross bar and - boom - done.

I "highly" recommend this corded mower over the twice as expensive battery mowers.

"Greatly appreciate all the specs and reviews, both user and expert!! Made researching various types of electric mowers one stop shopping! Prices are competitive and the shipping service was an unexpected surprise."

The service from Mowers Direct so far has been excellent. The mower arrived in two days, the box had been handled roughly by the courier, but the mower was in perfect condition.

I hadn't given it any thought but I think I transferred my memory of my parent's electric mower from the 70's to this one. The old one in my memory had a push system that allowed the operator to simply swing the handle from one side to the other to reverse direction. That was slick, this one is a bit more of a chore.

This mower is set up like a standard untethered mower, which requires the cord retainer slider to handle the cord position when the operator reverses direction. Because of the shape of the bar (rounded downward at each end, dictated by the way the push handle folds) the cord retainer is kind of a joke. The retainer wants to, or does, stick at each side, so part of the reversing direction process includes an annoying reach halfway down the handle to release the cord retainer from it's stuck position on the incorrect side of the mower so the expensive extension cord isn't chopped up along with the grass because it's been dragged over into the next swath to be mowed. I'll be doing a bit of modification to see if I can solve the problem... it's just too bad that I need to do that to a new machine.

The mower does a decent job mowing, however, the light weight blades don't have much flywheel effect so the operator cannot be in a hurry. It'll leave a few uncut or ragged blades of grass behind that require a second pass if pushed too quickly.

Overall, the mower seems well built, just a couple of design glitches that keep it from being the ideal electric mower.

Wrong Capture Bag

Overall I am very satisfied with the mower. It has the power and maneuverability i had hoped for.

However, the capture bag was a Ryobi bag (won't hang on back as directions state) and not a greenworks bag. I reported the problem worked with a couple of service techs to make sure that I wasn't missing a step/ overlooking the hanging procedure. Nope -just wrong bag. I have waited for nearly two weeks and have not received bag.

Thus: product good -- service poor.

Surprised And Delighted

After many years (and many mowers), and much frustration with trying to find repair facilities for those mowers, I finally looked into electrics. I decided on the GreenWorks.

I have been nothing but delighted with this mower. It is so easy to adjust the cutting height...just one lever does it. I was frankly surprised at how well this mower mulches the clippings...much better than any gas mower I have ever owned.

Probably the best thing about it, though, is how well it bags. The bag fills all the way to the top and all the way to the back. It is completely full when you take it off to empty it. I never had this with any gas mower.

It is also easy to push. It is really rugged and solidly built...due to the metal deck. It ALWAYS starts...something I never had with a gas mower. No gas, no oil, no exhaust....I LOVE it! I am an electric mower convert (and a GreenWorks convert) for life!

Probably The Best...but?

I've been mowing with a gas push mower for 18 years, but for at least 12 years I've been searching and hoping for something more sensible than these nasty, maintenance hogs that give folks only up to 22" path. From my experiences with lawn tractors, it gets even worse and has such an up-front cost to it, I wouldn't even consider buying one and using one on my 1/2 acre lot. Mowers with a larger cutting path, i.e. Graves 24" are over double the cost even in the most basic form.

So in my quest to go a different direction and looking at a 20" Greenworks, cordless, dual-blade, and deciding once again that cordless is just too impractical and expensive for my situation, I saw something even better - something that would give me nearly the same cutting width without all the fuss of a gas mower at a reasonable price. I pulled the trigger on a #25112 with a 21" deck.

And then there was the cord...I looked on the box and it showed that I needed a 14 gauge. I started with a 100' (ouch)! And then I got it home and found two things out...One hundred feet of cord was not enough, and according to the data chart in the manual, I was supposed to be using 10-gauge, but I decided to go back down to the store and get a 50', 12-gauge cord (even more ouch)! I hook up the 2nd cord only when I'm on the edges of my lawn. It works fine, but is not the recommended gauge, because going 10 gauge for 125' would cost more than the mower.

And then I mowed with it and figured out that using the cord was not as cumbersome as I might have thought. This mower was a dream the way it cuts. It's light weight, it doesn't try to shoot debris up at your body like lots of gas mowers, and as long as one stays away from the side discharge setup, it will have nearly enough power to do the same job as a loud, crude, gas machine. I also noticed the cord slide faults as others have mentioned. The great thing about this mower is that when it does bog down, it keeps trying to turn and mow. There is no real shutdown of this machine in high or thick grass, because, unlike a gas mower that will shut down once it loses RPM, this e-machine keeps going and trying to mow. When I brought it back out this Spring, I simply rolled out the cord plugged it up, and away I went. My gas mower had to go up on saw horses and get the normal gas drain, oil change, spark-plug and air filter check, before it could go to work.

I brought my 22" gas mower out and put it beside this Greenworks and this is the BIG DECEPTION. It is not a 21" mower. The blade is 19.25", and that's not the direction I was wanting to go and so, even though this is probably the best corded mower on the market, it's not what I need or want, and the industry is still not there for my situation, yet Greenworks lured me in with deceptive marketing. Nowhere in their literature do they tell us the actual cutting width or the length of the blade - not even for the blade specs.

I've been mowing with a gas push mower for 18 years, but for at least 12 years I've been searching and hoping for something more sensible than these nasty, maintenance hogs that give folks only up to 22" path.

I am very happy with my purchase from Mowers Direct. The price was the best I could find and came with free shipping.

The mower arrived in just a few days and there was no assembly needed other than extending the handle and attaching the mower bag.

The mower is easy to handle and has great power.

Best Electric Mower For The Price

My old 18" Black & Decker 12 amp electric finally gave up the ghost and I spent days researching new mowers and reading hundreds of reviews until I finally decided on this Greenworks model.

I have to say that it has completely surpassed my expectations and is probably the best mower I've ever owned - gas or electric. It has only one more amp than my old mower, but what a difference in power and performance.

Everything on this model is designed for ease of use from the one touch height adjustment to the way the bag clips on. Sturdy construction with a metal deck and the large back wheels make it perfect for my navigating my uneven landscape.

I've been using this mower for three months and have tried it with the bag, side chute, and mulching - all work great. I usually don't bother writing reviews but this mower is just that darn good.

Amy,

I apologize for your frustrations however, we do not have say in the repair or warranty of the Greenworks units as they deal with their warranty work and issues directly. I will forward this onto Greenworks as unfortunately I am unable to offer assistance with a unit purchased 3 years ago.

This Greenworks 25112 mower is a real step-up from my B&D (it did last 11 YEARS though!). The QUIET! is amazing it's sturdy but lightweight.

12 amps is plenty of power, the wheel adjust can be done fast with one finger, the big wheels in back allow easier motion & turns, and the fold-up works great for storage and transportation!

I've only used it 3 times so far but it rates a 10 out of 10!!!! And, thanks for the quick buy online and fast shipment!!!

Not A Happy Camper!

Bought this mower a couple of months back. Have used it less than 10 times. The first couple of mows were great. Then on the 3rd or 4th mow, after turning it off to move from the side to the front lawn, it wouldn't restart. Had to leave it for more than 30 minutes before it would restart. Yes, we checked the cord, the plugs, we even tried it without the bag (which strangely seemed to work last mow, but not this time!). For the record, we have a very small lawn. I have no idea what else to try and am currently waiting to hear back from Customer Service. Sorry, but I really can't recommend this mower!

High Altitude Wildland Lawn

I live in Woodland Park, CO at an altitude of 8500 feet. I have a third of an acre (approx.) of uneven lawn made up of various weeds, some grass, rocks, sticks and pine cones; and filled with aspen, spruce and pine trees.

I bought this mower because it is electric (gas mowers and high fire danger don't mix very well) and reputed to be powerful. It arrived ahead of schedule, well packed and ready to go.

It chewed through weeds over a foot high in one pass and, because I set it to its maximum height of 3.75 inches to conserve what little moisture was left in the ground during this summer's drought, it pretty much sailed over all low obstacles including ruts and hummocks. It cuts surprisingly close to trees, large edging rocks and fences which saves a lot of trimming.

I have only used it twice since lawns (and everything else) don't grow very fast up here, so can't speak to its longevity. A couple of the decals have come loose and one end of the protective foam cover on the handle has already begun to split (electricians tape fixed that). Outside of that, it is performing well.

I use the grass catcher which is easy to attach and remove and holds an adequate amount. As with any corded electric mower, there is the problem of keeping the 100 feet of 12 gauge extension cord out from under foot and mower, particularly since I have to mow in sections due to the trees.

Because of the great amount of dust from dry soil, I use the blower section of my shop vac to clean the mower. Works great. I have used Pam spray oil to keep grass from clogging the under carriage and that seems to work well.

I am very pleased with the mower and look forward to a long and productive association with it.

I live in Woodland Park, CO at an altitude of 8500 feet. I have a third of an acre (approx.) of uneven lawn made up of various weeds, some grass, rocks, sticks and pine cones; and filled with aspen, spruce and pine trees.

I bought this mower because it is electric (gas mowers and high fire danger don't mix very well) and reputed to be powerful. It arrived ahead of schedule, well packed and ready to go.

Mower On The Internet

I thought I'd try buying a mower on the Internet - what the heck, it was top-rated and not offered in our local stores.

Everything went perfectly! Delivered promptly, worked right out of the box, nothing broken, all parts present.

The mower itself lives up to the ratings - a worthy replacement for my previous 20+ year electric. Looking forward to many years of use.

All in all, a five-star experience.

Thank you!

Excellent Lawn Mower !!!

I have used this mower for about three months now and it has exceeded my expectation. In fact this is my first mower ever, as I have just moved in to my new home from a townhouse. After reading online reviews and stories from several friends who own gas powered mowers, I decided to buy an electric mower, and surely I didnít make a wrong decision.

Itís light weight, easy to start, easy to maneuver, and requires no trips to gas station. Just plug-in and mow and enjoy the smell of freshly cut grass without any fumes.

Most importantly, I donít have to worry about storing excess gasoline in container and fire hazard. I only pay for the electricity I use when this mower is running whereas excess gasoline in a container might evaporate if not properly closed.

I have a 100 foot, 15 amp cord that reaches to end of my lot. It took me 2 - 3 tries to get used to working with this long and heavy cord to not get tangled. I start from closer end and go deep into the lot. Since I do not have a storage cabin in my yard (probably next year's project), I store this mower in basement without worrying about smell and fire hazard from a gasoline container.

Last but not least, super fast service from Mowers Direct.

Worked Out Really Well

We had a manual reel mower that was OK for our old postage stamp lawn, but was not going to work when we moved to a .22 acre lot with a fair amount of lawn. I'm too "green" (and lazy) to hassle with the fumes and maintenance of gas, and wasn't sure I wanted to deal with batteries, either. So corded it was.

This mower has worked out really well so far after a couple of uses. Our house is basically right in the middle of our lot, so a 100' cord gets me everywhere I need to go. Mowing efficiently (i.e., cord avoidance) takes a bit of practice, but isn't particularly hard.

The mower seems to have plenty of power and cuts the grass nicely, and is not very hard to push. The 21" was arguably overkill for our yard, but the 20" appears to be discontinued, and I wanted one of the larger ones because they have steel rather than plastic underneath, which seems to be a major plus for durability.

While the mower isn't exactly feather-light (the cost of that steel), the weight isn't too bad. Though it doesn't exactly turn on a dime, I can still usually turn it around with one arm while holding cord with the other.

Which is necessary because of its one small but real negative: the cord clip. It is a bit too small and the plastic is a bit too rigid for it to effectively hold a proper cord. Combine that with cord prongs that seem to fit fairly loosely into the socket, and it means you can come unplugged fairly easily. Holding the cord to maintain some slack solves the problem, but I will eventually try to buy or rig up something that works better. It's not terrible, but it does keep me from giving 5 stars.

Excellent Mower W/ Super Fast & Safe Delivery

I have used my mower for two months now and it has performed as well as my Honda 6.5 hp from Sears. It took a little time to get used to using an extension cord but now that I have a routine down, and a set path, it is no trouble to manage a 100ft and a 50ft cord. I use the 50ft cord as an extension for the back part of my yard that extends beyond 100ft.

The mower starts so easy and so fast that I have no hesitation to stop the motor any time for any reason. I have used the mulching feature and the grass catcher and they both work very well. In fact, I believe that it mulches better than my Honda and catches grass in the grass catcher about the same as the Honda.

No gas and no oil means that I can store the mower in my basement.

I love my new mower!!

Greenworks Mower

This is my first electric mower, after the wife insisted that we go green and cut down on the emissions. I looked into battery powered ones, but they seem to be a few years away from cost and performance optimization. So far, the mower has been great, with the major issue being me trying to figure put how best to mow the yard without interference from the cord.

The power is there, and it's quiet and easy to clean. I won't go back to gas (and not just because she won't let me) as I like the impact the mower has on the environment as well as the job it's doing. Definitely recommend.

Do It Myself

Okay, I am the grey-haired lady down the street. My late husband rode his Snapper for years, but I just can't master the oil, gas, year-end flush, etc. So now that I have to do my yard I got the idea to get an electric mower...being the tech savvy old girl I am, I looked online, read reviews and here I am with a GreenWorks. (Ruled out B&D-all plastic).

GreenWorks offers metal and other specs, like big back wheels, easy raise/lower, 21" cut and 13 amp. Easy-start and cord management are terrific. I use the catcher without a problem.

I ordered from Mowers Direct because all the stores in 50 miles of my house did NOT carry this mower, so I thought I order shoes, tech gadgets, so why not a lawnmower?. MD was super quick! 2 1/2 days after i placed order, FedEx was dropping it off and I used it within 30 minutes. Yes I put the handles "up", read the manual, setup the cord, and rolled it out! Look mom, no man!

Did I mention no lugging gas cans, no roar?

So far after 3 uses, this is MY ANSWER.

Just What I Was Looking For

I've had so much trouble all my life trying to use gas powered mowers I thought I'd try other options. I have a reel mower which is nice since it is so light and my yard is basically a big hill, but it only really works if I mow my lawn twice a week (I don't mow my lawn twice a week).

I decided to get an electric mower for getting "caught up" and it works perfectly. I was essentially able to use it right out of the box. I got a corded one because I didn't want to deal with needing to make sure the battery was charged. The "drawback" is that on each pass I need to make sure I don't run over the cord, but that's easy enough.

"Great experience. I was able to make an informed decision in very little time."

So far I have only set it up (easy) and Have only used it once to mow (quite). Spring is really early I n Arizona this year and it surprises me that the grass is not growing as fast as it usually does out here.

So far it is a good machine and I am quite pleased with the way it mows. I like the idea that I can fold it up and store it in my vinyl garden shed. Could not do that with the gas mower.

Lacks Power

This mower is super light and requires no assembly. You just pull it out of the box, lift the handle and plug in to mow.

The only thing is that when you adjust the blade low to get a low cut it loses a ton of power and nearly dies. If you adjust the blade all the way down to get a super low cut - it will - no doubt die.

Needs a bit more power :)

We have been unable to use our mower since May when the blade was bent by hitting a rock, as the 21" Greenworks blade replacement has been on backorder since that time and generic blades will not fit. Very frustrating to have a decent mower, but not be able to use it.

I got the mower delivered a few days early and mowed the area I needed within an hour later.

As I was finishing my mowing, the mower quit. I contacted MowersDirect.com who sent me to Greenworks. They are sending me a replacement switch part. I hope to replace the switch quickly and re-mow the area again.

I love the 4-year warranty but was disappointed when I could not return the mower without a 25% restocking fee (OUCH!). Hard to say how I like this mower as it did work well for the hour it lasted. Overall, I think it will work great!

Weldon,

The Factory Warranty is administered by the folks at Greenworks; it is up to them to repair or replace your mower.

There is a link to our Return Policy at the bottom of every page on our web site. It explains the restock fee covers opened items in salable condition, since we have to test, clean & repackage them.

I bought this mower due to the fact I could not start my gas mower. I'm 71 years old and this mower is so easy to work. I love it.

Of course I ran over my cord the very first day. I had to call my grandson to come bail me out of a mess. It blew the circuit breakers for the outlets outside and my freezer and fridge in the garage. My grandson said to let him mow the lawn but I told him it's good exercise for me.

I mow my lawn each week now with no problems caused by the operator.

I Like This Mower

I did quite a bit of research before I decided to make the switch from a gasoline powered to an electric powered mower. I knew the advantages and the negatives before made the purchase.

This particular model featured the widest cut (21in.) and the most powerful motor (13 amp) I could find. I was also swayed by the 4 year warranty.

I purchased the mower online on a Saturday from Mowers Direct. It was supposed be be shipped direct from the factory. Amazon was $20 cheaper but my grass was already growing and my old mower was kaput. I needed it in a hurry. I was not willing to wait the 3-6 weeks Amazon had advertized.

The mower was shipped on Monday and arrived at my front door on the following Thursday. I was happy about that. The $20 extra was well worth it.

The box contained all the items listed in the owners manual. No missing parts.

I carefully read all the instructions. I also walked my yard looking for any hidden obstructions since the grass was a little high.

My first mowing experience went very well. This particular mower was lightweight and with the large back wheels it was easy to maneuver. I did not have any problem with the mower cutting unevenly but I also was respectful of the fact that I was dealing with an electric mower. When the motor began to struggle just a bit in really heavy grass I slowed down.

The main thing I like about this mower after using it one time is that I can stop and start it without pulling a rope. That is awesome.

It did the job with less effort and I had no problem with the cord. It is a 50 ft. 12 amp cord so it is quite thick but the few times it got in my way I simply stopped the mower, moved the cord and restarted the mower.

I am not going to miss trips to the gas station or storing gasoline in my garage.

So far so good with this mower. If I have any problems I will update this review.

Greenworks 13Amp 21 Inch corded mower was easy to setup out of the box and very user friendly. Mowed up both front and back lawn without a hitch. No grassy mess either. Th mower is not too heavy, easy to push and puts out plenty of power.

Would definitely recommend this mower to anyone looking to purchase electric mower!

When I ordered my Greenworks 25112 Lawn Mower, I was a little apprehensive. I had never even seen an electric mower, so all I had to go by was reviews and a couple of Face Book friends experience with them. Also, my new neighbor told me that his dad had a battery powered one and didn't like it. But, I just bought a new house with a very small yard, and was determined to do away with the aggravation and messiness of a gasoline mower. So, I started looking on line.

The reason I settled on the Greenworks brand was that I had just bought a Greenworks corded electric tiller from Lowe's and was impressed with it. I chose Mowers Direct because of the user friendly web site. I liked the no tax, no delivery charge also. All the information I needed was there, and ordering was easy. The delivery of the mower.

Took 3 days from the time I ordered it. So, I removed my new lawn mower from the box and began assembly, which took only a couple of minutes. Ten minutes after I opened the box, I was cutting grass. My comment to the wife was " these people have it together". After three cuts, I am still pleased with it. The only draw back is the cord, which I expected. That's not a fault of the mower. Thanks for a good experience.

This mower is perfect for my needs. My lawn is of average size and shape and not on a hill-- a very flat surface.

What I liked:

3. Come with all the options for catching or mulching the grass
4. Sturdy steel construction and easy cleaning.

You could not ask for more; and no going to the gas station to get gas, no engine to worry about spark plugs to replace. Instant mowing- push the button and go!

Good Mower- Works As Advertised

I ordered my 21" Greenworks mower on a Monday, and it was on my doorstep here in NC on the following THURSDAY, direct from China!!

It was easy to assemble, and I have used it twice so far. It cuts very well, and it's extremely easy to adjust cutting height.

I have been using the side-eject grass-throwing option, which works, but air pressure on the closed rear gate makes grass clippings spew out a crevice in the top of the gate, covering the back of the mower deck with debris--a little sweeping is in order before storage.

Bob,

It actually shipped from Greenworks' warehouse in Charlotte, NC; it was only a short hop to Wilmington.

This mower has a lot of power and cuts well. I love the ease of attaching and removing the bag. It's quite a bit heavier than my last electric mower which is a negative since I have fibromyalgia, but other than that I am pleased with it.

I was surprised as to the ease of pushing the electric mower vs the gas. I can push it with one hand. It cuts great and the height adjustment is very easy to use. I almost wish I hadn"t bought the riding mower but at 80 I'd rather ride than walk. I'll use mostly to cut in tight spots and walkways and around flowerbeds. Don't have to mess with gas and the engine gumming up in the off season, plus no spring tune ups.

Great Mower

I have been using the Greenworks 25112 for the past month and it has been very easy to use. Setup was very simple, just remove it from the box and unfold the handle. Height adjustment is handled with one lever. The large back wheels make it very easy to push.

I have used it for both mulching and bagging and both modes were very easy to use. The only problem I have encountered is that the cord holder does not accomodate the 12 gauge power cord. I work around this by tying the power cord in a half hitch around the same cross bar the cable holder is mounted on. Overall, a great mower -- I use it with a 100' 12 gauge power cord.

Broke On First Mow

The first time I used this mower the front wheel got caught under the blade and was chewed through. Our lawn is small and level. The company sent a replacement part, but I am NOT handy and putting the new wheel on isn't self explanatory and there are no directions in the manual. I wouldn't recommend this product despite Mowers Direct's strong reviews.

Teri,

Give Greenworks technical support a call at 888-909-6757, they may be able to walk you through the process of replacing the part.

I am happy with my new GreenWorks mower. It is easy to handle, which was my primary concern. I am thrilled with the easy start. I've only used it two times, thus far, and find the cord is not much of an issue (another concern). I am using two 50' cords instead of one 100' (as suggested by another customer) and find it is not a big problem.

Good Electric Mower

After much research on electric mowers (both corded and battery), I decided on this one. I was looking for the following combination of features: electric power, largest cutting width available, steel deck, large back wheels, and abillity to cut about 1/4 acre. The 25112 has all these features. I was tempted by a couple of the battery mowers out there (there are a couple of 20" battery mowers) but none of the reviews indicated that the mowers would run longer than 45-60 minutes, and my lawn takes at least an hour.

Since I had experience with a corded mower before, I went with the 25112. I've used it three times since I received it on June 9 and love everything about it. I only use the mulching mode, and it works great. Also, although the manual says you need a 12-14 ga cord for 100 feet, I'm getting away with a 16 ga cord right now and not having any problems. It's probably a safety issue, and the cord probably warms up a bit, but it's not blowing any circuits. I think this is the best electric mower available on the market today.

I waited 3 months for this machine and am glad I waited. It is everything I could want in an electric. Power, looks, light weight.
As a 75 year old I just could not see myself starting up a gas mower. Pulling my joints apart. Noise. Smell. Difficult starts. Not worth it. This is a real push button start and easy to maneuver. A true 'plug and play' because it is fun to run. And the

Extension Cord

I have used my mower 3 times so far and am very satisfied with it's performance so far. My only complaint is that the motor isn't as quiet as i thought it would be and the foam that cushions the handle is not very thick and has a tear in it from grasping the handle firmly. The cost of the extension cord is very expensive. I needed an 85 foot cord and according to the manual over 50 ft. requires a 12 gauge extension. Since they don't make 85 ft. I had to go for a 100 ft. The cost of this was close to 100 dollars. Half the price of the machine. Not good. Maybe the manufacturer should mention the cost of the 12 gauge cord in their specifications. Or sell them at a discounted price.

Greenworks 25112: A Review

I tried the new mower out yesterday and today, and I'm very pleased with the product--very sturdy and well-made! It cut the grass every bit as well as my old Sears Craftsman gas mower, and I don't miss having to pull on a starter rope and worry about a choke and throttle. One push of the button and off I went!

Two problems: (1) The left side of the rear shield fell down as I mowed the front lawn. I had to go to Ace Hardware and get a
new bolt and vibration-proof nut--Took me about an hour to fix it. Seems to function all right now. (2) The cord retainer proved to be inadequate. I have a large yard and had to buy 12-gauge wire, which could not fit through the hole in the retainer when doubled. I just held it in my hand against the handle as I mowed.

Overall, though, I'm well-pleased so far with this machine. Beats gas any day.

Great Mower

If you don't have a large yard this mower is fantastic. Wish I had discovered it ten years ago.

Cleaning Up The Environment...one Lawn At A Time

I have a little postage-stamp yard in the city of Cleveland. I have been using an old gas-powered lawnmower given to me many years ago by my brother when he moved to Florida. Recently, I have had to transport the mower back and forth from my home to a rental house occupied by my daughter and her boyfriend. The boyfriend has taken over the chore of mowing their postage-stamp lawn so I decided it was time to find another lawnmower to avoid moving mine. After failing to find a good used gas mower for a decent price, my wife (the wisest woman I know) suggested buying a new electric lawnmower. I have never owned a new lawnmower in my life, so I literally jumped at the offer.

Of course, the only concession I now have to make is dealing with an electrical extension cord. I think it's a small price to pay for never worrying about purchasing gas for a lawnmower again.

I love the power and the cut width. I also like having the option of using the mower as a mulcher, bagger, or side blower. I've only used it a couple times since it showed up, but I'm getting used to it. It's got my volt!

Hassle-free Mowing

No gas, no oil, no tune-ups, no starting problems. Purchase was easy and quick, delivery when/before promised.

Mower does great job on lawn, replaced B&D mower that i now save just to crunch leaves in fall.

Just have to learn to mow away from where you are plugged in- learned that 30 years ago with sunbeam, the first electric mower sold. Only had electric ever since. My indoor/outdoor bbq grill is also electric. No coal or propane issues and i can use it indoors even in winter.

Can't say enough good things about the mower or the dealer. Highly recommend both!
